Party For The Senses Will Be Back at This Year’s Food & Wine Festival
Here at MickeyBlog we are pleased to announce that one of the most hotly anticipated Epcot International Food & Wine Festival events will be back in 2019! As its name suggests, Party for the Senses is a tribute to the sensory arts! During these special soirees, you’ll join acclaimed chefs, personalities and entertainers for a night of food, fun and friends!
The event takes place at the World ShowPlace Events Pavilion located between the United Kingdom and Canada. Each evening event features over 20 eminent chefs providing a sampling of their incredible creations at tasting stations throughout the hall. And while you are wining and dining, you’ll also have your socks rocked off by the aptly named international sensations – FEMMES OF ROCK (pictured above) back for a second year.
The parties will take place from 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM during the Festival. The cost to attend ranges in price from $299 to $359 depending on ticketed options but we’ll talk more about that in a minute.
